Thx - I wasn't happy about soportar either, but I had a native-speaking Spanish teacher look at it and she didn't see a problem! I agree with you on that one, though. ~sigh~ I've seen a few other things in the document I don't like, but it's tough with the conflicting info...

Also, it should be "departamentos". There is no i in the word.

Thanks for pointing that out! I wanted to say something about "soportar," but sometimes my mind gets a little muddy with false cognates and I can't remember which are false and which aren't...

(I used to be so much better at this before I started teaching, and read the same wrong things over and over...)

"obrar en conjunto a (para) soportar las actividades de todos los departamientos..."

soportar means "to bear, to stand" (double click on it)

I gather you wanted to say...."support the activities"'?

Well, this would be

apoyar las actividades de .....
